Teething

Teething usually begins around 6 months of age. However, it is normal for teething to start at any time between 3 months and 12 months of age. During teething, the first set of teeth, called primary teeth or milk teeth, erupt and break through the gums. Teething symptoms may begin about 3 to 5 days before a tooth breaks the skin, causing pain and discomfort to the child.
